The Sima family's house was built when Sima Jun was alive. It covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and is located in the east of Wenxian County.

There are more than twenty small courtyards inside. In addition to Sima Fang's eight sons living here, Sima Fang's brothers and descendants also live in this large courtyard. With servants and maids, more than one hundred people live in the entire courtyard.

After breakfast, Sima Yi read "The Art of War" for a while, and then went to the yard to practice swordsmanship. Suddenly, the twelve-year-old seventh brother Sima Tong ran over panting, covering his stomach and gasping, shouting: "Second brother, it's not good, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong, Xiaoqi? Slowly, why are you panic?" Sima Yi's face darkened, and he asked with his sword closed.

"A general led his troops to our house. It seemed that there were five or six hundred people!" Sima Tong said, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.

"Nee..." Sima Yi took a deep breath, "Who is coming? Did you know?"

"I heard from my third brother that it seemed to be the son of Yuan Shichu, the mute of Jizhou, and I don't know what to do?" Sima Tong recalled what his third brother said to him. It was just a young man's nature, and he didn't remember Yuan Shao's name very clearly.

"Uh... is it the young master of the Mu family in Jizhou?" Sima Yi's eyes flashed, his pupils kept changing. After a moment, he suddenly realized and slapped his thighs and said, "I understand. Maybe I'm here to invite our brothers to be officials!"

"Be an official?" Sima Tong was happy when he heard this, "It's good to be an official. The third brother wants to be an official the most, but he doesn't have the chance, and he doesn't want to do odd jobs in the yamen. In addition, his father doesn't allow it. So he has never found a chance. If someone comes to invite him, he will definitely be happy!"

Sima Yi glanced at the little brother with a cold look and scolded: "What do you know? Fang is in chaos today, and the political situation is unpredictable. After the party sings, he will appear on the stage. I wonder who can laugh to the end. Do you think this official is easy to be a good official?"

Sima Tong was scolded for no reason and pouted and argued: "What are you doing when you get angry at me? It's not that I want to be an official, I'm talking about my third brother who wants to be an official."

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "I can't control them. If Shuda wants to be an official, please let him go. There is an elder brother and a father at home. It's not my turn, my second brother, to make the decision."

As he spoke, he fell into Sima Tong's ear and whispered: "Go and tell your elder brother, just say I don't want to become an official. If Mr. Yuan came to invite us to become an official, I would say that I had wind and my hands and feet could not move!"

After saying that, he slapped Sima Tong on the butt. "Go quickly. Give everyone a piece of advice, and said that I was unfortunately breeze a few days ago. Who would dare to tell the truth? Be careful that I stabbed a hole in him with a sword!"

Seeing Sima Tong running out of his yard happily, Sima Yi quickly walked to the door and inserted the door latch, then walked into the room and took off his robe, laying on the bed in his underwear. He felt that it was not the same, so he got up and brought a white cloth towel to cover it on his head, and then he was nervously eavesdropping on the movement outside.

While lying down, he thought to himself that this was wrong. I heard that Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, was very arrogant and it was difficult for ordinary people to see him. His father was just a small county magistrate, and his brothers were so young and did not have much reputation. At best, he was well-known in Wen County. Why did the son of the Yuan family come to visit the Sima family with such a big attitude?

"Xiao Qi said he came with his soldiers, and it seems that the person who came is not good!" Sima Yi murmured to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple. "Don't worry about him, I'll pretend to be sick for the time being to see if I can hide it? Let's do it again!"

After Yuan Mai brought his soldiers to Wenxian County, the new Wenxian County Magistrate Zhang Fang hurriedly came out to greet him and asked him about his purpose. He turned out to visit Sima's family and hurriedly led the way. He just watched Yuan Mai bring soldiers with him, with swords and swords, and was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He only led Yuan Mai and his party to the door of Sima's family's ancestral home.

Yuan Mai quietly ordered Zhou Cang, "Yuanfu, you don't have to follow me in later. You divide your troops to guard the various doors of the Sima family. No one is allowed to let him out. If someone insists on going out, tie him up and wait for me to interrogate."

"Okay, I know what to do!" Zhou Cang agreed, turned over and dismounted, and quietly arranged the soldiers to go.

Sima Fang was originally a three-person brother, and his elder brother Sima Xun followed him as a counselor. His third brother Sima An had already died of the plague. Therefore, the entire Sima Courtyard is now under the control of Sima Fang's eldest son Sima Lang. Hearing that the princes of the provincial Mu family came to visit him in person, Sima Lang personally brought his third brother Sima Fu, the fourth brother Sima Kui, the fifth brother Sima Xun, and several cousins ​​to welcome him.

"Oh... I don't know if the young master comes to the door and is in a position to welcome him. I'll forgive me for my crimes!"

Sima Lang brought a group of brothers to worship. In front of the young master of the Yuan family, these brothers were just dilapidated, that is, they called themselves prominent clans in front of peddlers or ordinary gentry. In front of the Yuan family, they were simply the light of fireflies and bright moons. They were afraid that their father would carry shoes to other people's father, and they might not be able to use them.

Yuan Mai immediately glanced at the people who came out. The oldest was twenty-four or fifteen years old, and the youngest was fourteen or fifteen years old, with seven or eight young people. He didn't know who was Sima Yi here? But if you look closely, you didn't look like any one, and you couldn't tell that he had the temperament of a hero.

There is a history in my memory that Sima Yi has a wolf-gu appearance. As the name suggests, he can be like a wolf, without moving his body, and can transfer his head for half a circle. He said that such a wolf is ambition and has ulterior motives. Yuan Mai didn't know whether it was true or false, but since there was such a statement, it must mean that Sima Yi's appearance is different from ordinary people and has obvious characteristics. Take a closer look at which of the seven or eight people in front of him has a long neck.

The person leading the front was about twenty-one or two years old, and he looked elegant. He was dressed in a navy blue Confucian scholar, with a medium figure, seven feet apart, and his behavior was steady, looking like a talented person. But Yuan Mai could tell from his perception that he was definitely not Sima Yi, but he just didn't know who he was?

"Haha... I'm really abrupt when I come to visit, so why is that strange?" Yuan Mai was not arrogant and dismounted and returned the gift.

Zhang Fang, the magistrate of Wen County, had already met the Sima brothers, and now took the initiative to introduce the Sima brothers to Yuan Mai. "This one is Sima Lang, whose courtesy name is Boda, that one is Sima Fu, whose courtesy name is Shuda, that one is Sima Kui, whose courtesy name is Jida..."
